Birmingham Beaten, 7-4, by New York
New York and Birmingham duked it out and the Black Yankees came out victorious.

The New York Black Yankees topped the Birmingham Black Barons by a score of 7-4. Leading the way was catcher Thurman Munson. Munson went 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk for the Black Yankees. The win went to Paul Shuey in relief, making him now 4-0. Harley Young took the loss for Birmingham.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Don Mattingly? The New York designated hitter had a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Black Yankees on top, 7-4. For the game, Mattingly had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Munson expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."

New York has run its win streak to 11 consecutive.
